The Farmhouse Edit: Real Food, Real Life: Homesteading & Motherhood with Meg of Hollar Homestead

May 12, 2026 · 58 min

In this episode, I’m joined by Meg of Hollar Homestead to talk about what it really looks like to raise a large family on a homestead. From cooking from scratch and homeschooling rhythms to livestock management and letting go of perfection, Meg offers a refreshingly honest take on simple, intentional living.


We are diving into:


  • Starting a homestead with pigs and raised beds
  • Stepping away from dairy cows (for now)
  • Nourishing meals for large families
  • Letting kids cook and carry the load
  • Emergency prep after Hurricane Helene
  • Encouragement for moms in busy seasons
